The only fix for that is a D- or film SLR.

I was at a kid's party recently with my Nikon F65 (film), and I was the only one with an SLR, and the only one who got any action shots of 2-4 year olds at full speed. A Nikon 5700, 5400, Canon IXUS 300, a Pentax Optio 430?, a couple of Kodaks - none of which could focus then shoot with flash anywhere near the speed of an SLR.

I went through the whole digital thing, and nearly bought a Canon G3 a year ago. With the new Nikon D70, now might be the time to revisit.

I can also keep my Nikkor lenses, and SB TTL flash...
